Privesa brings AI sourcing to private jet charter brokers
Naples, Florida startup Privesa launched in August and is testing an AI platform with an unnamed charter brokerage. Founder Logan Cassidy says the system can automate 80% to 85% of repetitive broker work and has already found one option $10,000 below the next quote.
- Privesa launched in August 2026
- First proof of concept is with an unnamed charter brokerage
- Company is based in Naples, Florida
- Platform targets 80% to 85% of repetitive broker tasks
- One test trip found a quote $10,000 below the next best option
A new private aviation software startup is aiming at one of charter’s most manual jobs: finding the right aircraft at the right price. Privesa, based in Naples, Florida, is running its first proof of concept with a charter brokerage after launching in August.
The company says its AI agents can contact operators, read quotes and rank options for brokers. In one example given to Corporate Jet Investor, the system surfaced a charter option priced $10,000 below the next best quote before the broker started work that morning.
The point is not that AI replaces the broker. It is that charter still runs on fragmented supply, phone calls, emails and relationship knowledge. If tools like Privesa can reliably handle sourcing and comparison, brokers could spend more time advising clients and less time chasing availability.
